Up to 2,000 Contacts
The module can store and search up to 2,000 contacts, making it useful for apartment buildings, office complexes and multi-tenant sites where a simple name scroll directory is required.
Backlit Physical Buttons
Four physical buttons with backlight support allow users to move up and down, confirm a selection and go back while navigating the contact list or display prompts.
Modular Door Station Integration

Best For
- Apartment Intercom Directories: Suitable for building entries where visitors need to scroll through resident or unit contact names.
- Office and Commercial Buildings: Useful for multi-business sites where visitors need to locate and call a tenant, reception desk or department.
- Multi-Tenant Door Stations: A practical addition to compatible Hikvision modular systems where a contact list is more convenient than individual name tags.
- Gated Facilities: Suitable for visitor entry points where the intercom needs contact search, call support and directory-style operation.
- Gen2 Modular Intercom Builds: Best used as part of a custom modular door station with the required main unit, mounting frame and optional keypad or reader modules.
Why Choose the DS-KD-DIS
The DS-KD-DIS is a strong choice when a Hikvision modular door station needs a clear contact directory instead of relying only on a keypad, card reader or fixed name tag module. It makes visitor calling easier on multi-tenant sites by allowing names and contacts to be displayed, searched and selected directly from the door station. When paired with the correct keypad module, it can also support dial number and PIN unlock display workflows. For intercom projects supplied through Security Wholesalers, this module is best selected during the planning stage so the installer can confirm the main door station unit, contact list requirements, mounting frame size and optional modules required for the final layout.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Choose the DS-KD-DIS when the door station needs a searchable name or contact list. If the project only needs simple button calling or a small number of labelled residents, a name tag or button module may be more suitable.
Installation Tip: Confirm the main KD8 modular door station, keypad or reader requirements, mounting frame, rain shield, contact database setup, 12VDC module wiring and module order before installation.
